I Bought a $500 Honda Civic… Now I’m PAYING for It

I paid $500 for this Honda Civic. Buying it was the easy part — now every repair seems to reveal another problem.
In Part 2, my goal is simple: make this Turbo Civic safe enough to finally see how fast it really is. But before I can test it, I have to deal with bad brakes, suspension problems, electrical issues, and a few more surprises along the way.
I start with the rear brakes, then the tachometer and speedometer stop working, leading me into a much bigger problem with the distributor and gauge cluster. I also fix the sunroof, rebuild the front suspension, install a manual steering rack and coilovers, clean up the wiring, add a push-button start, and fix a leaking turbo oil return.
After all that work, it's finally time to find out how fast this $500 Turbo Civic really is.
If you haven't seen Part 1, you can watch it here:
